Evolution

You have to get the first male and female at the same time, in the same place, ready to go - from an asexual reproducer (and they have to like each other) or there's no first sexual reproducers; millions of years are irrelevant.

Abiogenesis: 150 years and counting of the brightest minds finding evidence of absence.

I take material from 2 sources, process, result is two 99% similar objects. You say "99% similar, same source." More complexity can't make you right.

"earlier than expected" = an evolutionary prediction was falsified; this is continually seen in papers published from an evolutionary perspective.

never enough junk DNA (in humans or otherwise): “If ENCODE is right, then evolution is wrong.” - Dan Graur (an evolutionist)

fossil record overwhelmingly shows organisms consistent with created kinds, not the multitude of transitional forms evolutionary origins require- not only for creatures no longer around, but especially for the multitude of "living fossils"

fossil record overwhelmingly shows complex body plans from the start (Cambrian explosion), defying evolutionary expectations

Bones of Contention
sourced from "Bones of Contention" first edition by Christopher Rupe and Dr John Sanford unless otherwise noted.

    side note from me: a common thread seems to be that "splitters" must prove supposed distinctives don't occur in Homo sapiens, but the range of variation in modern man (incl. pathology, island dwarfism, etc) powerfully refutes them.

H. neanderthalensis aka Neanderthals
Evidence from paleontology, archaeology, and modern genetics all strongly suggest Neanderthal is fully human.
anatomy is within modern Anatomically Modern Human ranges, with similar features seen in Homo sapiens skulls throughout Europe.
Sites such as the "pit of bones" in Spain testify single population can display features characteristic of all major hominin species in the genus Homo (Erectus, Heidelbergensis, Neanderthals, Homo sapiens). This was one diverse interbreeding population.
2010 sequencing of the Neanderthal genome confirmed that Neanderthals (and Denisovans) are members of our own species, Homo sapiens.
Neanderthal-with-sapiens burial sites corroborate what the DNA evidence testifies: intermingled, interbreeding communities.
Archaeological evidence attests they were NOT inferior to H. sapiens.
H. erectus
fully human
features largely fall within range of H sapiens variation, as in isolated populations (especially hunter/gatherers)
Java
Flores: Rampasasa pygmies
Eskimos and Aleuts have been noted to share features with Asian Erectus specimens.
Australian aboriginal remains
Kow Swamp
braincase volumes
modern humans: 800-2220 cm^3 with avg. ~1345 cm^3
1921 Nobel Prize for literature Anatole France 933 cm^3; similar to Java man and Turkana Boy
Daniel Lyon 660 cm^3 lived normal life working for Pennsylvania Railway Terminal for 20 years, read/write and no signs of mental deficiency.
erectus:  700-1400 avg 940 cm^3
OH12 east Africa 727cc to 1200+ cc largest Chinese specimens
this alone doesn't determine intelligence anyways: whales vs humans
extensive cultural inventory
richer than Tasmanians  and other isolated tribes living today
Wallacea island crossings
H floresiensis aka Hobbit
so similar to the modern pygmy population of H sapiens that actually still lives around here…
abnormalities might be microcephaly, a well known developmental disorder that results in a misshapen skull with reduced braincase, but other explanations such as cretinism, Laron syndrome , and Down's syndrome are also possible.
distinct temporal lobes just like erectus according to work done by Dean Falk published in Science (2005).
sophisticated tools associated, see (both on the discovery team) Richard Roberts, Michael Morwood
Furthermore Flores island was never known to be connected by land bridge: Hobbit sailed there.

Ape-like

Australopithecus afarensis aka Lucy
foot bones since discovered are clear: Lucy had ape feet; see AL 333-115, the most complete Afarensis foot specimen. The human-like reconstructions were actually modeled after an actual human foot template (biased much?): specimen OH 8 recovered from Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, which was originally attr to Habilis but later reassigned to Erectus (which is fully human); Tuttle, Tardieu, Snut, Susman, Stern, Jungers, P.J. Mitchell, Johanson, et al reject the human-like interpretation.
Laetoli footprints are incongruent with Lucy, but rejected to be true Homo footprints solely because of evolutionary assumptions.
